RF Microneedling (Vivace) Treatment Specialist in Langhorne and Philadelphia, PA

Vivace is a comprehensive microneedling procedure that is performed in the comfort of our Langhorne medical office. The handheld device delivers collagen-stimulating RF energy through 36 needles as it is moved across the skin. The needles gently create micro-tears in the outer skin layers, and the RF energy heats the tissue to boost collagen and elastin production.

The combination provides a comprehensive treatment that improves not only the appearance and texture of the skin but also the underlying skin tone due to increased collagen and elastin.

The procedure is completed in about 90 minutes, which includes approximately 45 minutes to numb the areas to be treated. Most patients can resume their daily activities after their procedure with minimal discomfort or noticeable swelling.

It is recommended that patients receiving microneedling with Vivace wait at least 6 hours before applying makeup to the skin. This allows the micro-tears in the skin to close and begin the healing process.

A series of 3 treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart is generally recommended, but your unique treatment plan will be dependent upon the condition of your skin, the area(s) to be treated, and the desired result. In some cases, a single treatment can visibly improve the appearance and texture of the skin.

The Vivace Experience® can treat various cosmetic concerns related to the appearance of the skin. Common reasons for choosing microneedling can include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck
• Acne scarring
• Noticeable blemishes on the skin
• Tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines
• Minimize stretch marks
• Hyperpigmentation
• Reduce the appearance of large pores

Dr. Durvi Patel and Dr. Aaron Shapiro offer RF microneedling (Vivace) treatments at the Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery in Langhorne and Philadelphia, PA, to help improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. RF microneedling combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy, which stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. This treatment is ideal for addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. During the procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while radiofrequency energy penetrates the layers of the skin to enhance the healing process and encourage the production of fresh collagen.

The treatment is minimally invasive, and recovery time is typically short, with most patients experiencing only mild redness and swelling. Results are gradual, with noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness over the weeks following treatment. Dr. Patel and Dr. Shapiro customize each treatment based on your skin’s unique needs, ensuring the best results. RF microneedling is a safe, effective, and non-surgical option to rejuvenate your skin and restore a youthful, radiant complexion. For more information, contact us or request an appointment online.
